Idaho 2026 Regular Session

Agenda Feb 11th, 2026

Transcript Highlights:
  • Also, new R.S. hearings will not be allowed after this Friday.
  • So they'll have to go to Ways and Means or some other committee if you have a new R.S. to be introduced
  • And what I'd like to do is just kind of read line 13 and 14, which this would be added to the reckless
  • School zones: in 2022, there were 14; in 2023, 12, with one fatal; and in 2024, we had 11.
  • Afternoon, Tom Defer, District 14, representing Caldwell Police.
Summary: The House Judiciary Rules Committee approved the minutes from February 9, 2026, and announced that Friday would be the last day for new RS hearings before they must go to another committee. The committee first moved House Bill 522 back to the second reading calendar, then later reconsidered that action and sent HB 522 to general orders. It also introduced RS 33227C1, a revised proposal to clarify Idaho’s child custody interference laws, including affirmative defenses, law enforcement guidance, and a graduated penalty structure, with a small wording change from “all” to “any” on page two. RS 33258 was also introduced to add electronic storage detection dogs to the list of protected police-type animals under Idaho law.

Idaho 2026 Regular Session

Agenda Feb 3rd, 2026

Transcript Highlights:
  • Today before you is R.S. 33036, and this bill is about restoring some clarity in the separation of powers
  • Introduce R.S. 3303.6. Representative Matthias. Mr. Chairman, just for a quick question? Go ahead.
Summary: The committee first approved the minutes from Thursday, January 29, 2026. Members were also told the next meeting would be the following Friday at 1:30 p.m. The agenda included three introduction hearings and one bill hearing. The committee introduced three RS drafts. Representative Monks presented RS 331-26C1, which would update an antiquated justifiable homicide provision by replacing references to specific family or household relationships with “another person.” Representative Shirts presented RS 331-1-1-1, a Title 18 cleanup bill repealing chapters on camcorder piracy, tape piracy, and motion picture fair bidding, which he said were outdated and apparently never prosecuted. Representative Scott presented RS 33036, which would create a formal process for the legislature to notify the Idaho Supreme Court by resolution when court rules appear to conflict with statute or affect substantive rights; all three RS drafts were moved for introduction and approved. The committee then heard House Bill 525 on execution procedures. Representative Skog and the Department of Correction said the bill would extend confidentiality protections and make explicit that execution protocols developed by the director are not subject to rulemaking or judicial review, describing it as a clarification of existing practice and recent court interpretations. Representative Rubel raised concerns that the language was too broad and could limit transparency and oversight, while other members noted the wording may need clarification to reflect only the development of procedures, not the procedures themselves. After discussion, the sponsor agreed that clarifying the language would be helpful. A motion to send the bill to the floor with a due pass recommendation was replaced by a motion to send House Bill 525 to General Orders, which passed.

Summary: The House Transportation Committee met on Monday, April 27, with a quorum present and took up a series of Senate bills and one House concurrent resolution, most of them related to transportation infrastructure, memorial highway designations, and prestige license plates. Early action centered on Senate Bill 122, which would direct the Department of Transportation and Development to be more proactive about bridge maintenance, inspection, reporting, and public meetings on bridge conditions; the committee adopted a large amendment package before reporting the bill with amendments. The committee also reported favorably SCR 6 supporting an LNG facility at Port Fourchon and SCR 18 directing a study of commercial driver’s license privileges compared with neighboring states. Several bills designated memorial highways or bridges, including SB 50 for the Elwood T. Brady Jr. Memorial Bridge, SB 70 for the Officer Mark Brock Memorial Highway, SB 460 for the Hayden Lane Mangum Memorial Highway, SB 101 for the Daniel Edward Didillo Memorial Highway and Bill Blue Evans Memorial Highway, SB 160 for the Speaker Joe R. Salter Memorial Highway, SB 418 for the Dick and Jacques Schuford Memorial Highway, SB 103 for the Gladys Edwards Highway, SB 159 for the Surgeon Roelio Roy Gonzalez Jr. Memorial Highway, SB 182 for the Mayor Billy Cobb Memorial Highway, SB 104 for the Ernest J. Gaines Memorial Highway, and SB 2 for the Falcons Band Highway. The committee also approved SB 114 creating a prestige plate for the Foundation for Moral Law and SB 96 creating a Fallen Heroes prestige plate. One of the more substantive policy items was HCR 63, which creates a task force to study whether certain active-duty military personnel without civilian driver’s licenses should be allowed to operate federally owned vehicles on state highways; it was reported favorably after discussion of military training and licensing differences. Another major item was HCR 69, urging DOTD to improve Interstate 12 in Livingston Parish; the committee adopted amendments adding findings about flooding, drainage, and evacuation concerns, and then reported the resolution with amendments. The committee also considered SB 19 on the state employee retired prestige plate; after objections about whether proceeds should continue supporting LASERS, the bill was reported favorably by roll call vote, 13-1, with Representative Schamberhorn voting no.

Summary: The committee first heard House Bill 305, which would clarify and expand a healthcare workforce bill to explicitly include physician assistants and dietitians in efforts to address shortages, especially in rural areas. Rep. Fleming said the change was intended to help with Medicaid-related needs such as diabetes care and noted a decline in dietitian internship applications. Rep. Roarx supported the bill, emphasizing the value of dietitians in helping patients make practical nutrition changes. The bill received a unanimous favorable expression, 14-0, and was reported to the House floor. The committee then considered House Bill 427, which would create statewide 60-credit-hour transfer pathways for high-demand bachelor’s degree programs under the Council on Postsecondary Education. Rep. Grossl explained the bill is meant to prevent students from losing major credit when transferring between KCTCS and four-year institutions, using nursing as an example. Questions focused on rigor, dual credit, how high-demand programs would be selected, and the July 1, 2026 implementation date; the sponsor said CPE and faculty would map curricula and align standards. The Kentucky Student Rights Coalition testified in support, saying the bill would help students complete degrees faster and make credits count toward majors. HB 427 also passed unanimously, 14-0, with favorable expression. The committee then took up House Bill 424, as amended by a committee substitute. Rep. Tipton said the substitute removed language allowing up to six-year contracts and instead set up a process for four-year contracts and periodic performance reviews for faculty, including presidents, at public postsecondary institutions. He said the bill is intended to give universities clearer authority to remove underperforming employees and be more efficient with taxpayer dollars. Several faculty witnesses opposed the bill, arguing it would erode tenure protections, create arbitrary performance standards, and harm recruitment, retention, and academic freedom. The committee adopted the substitute and heard testimony, but no final vote on HB 424 is shown in the transcript excerpt.

  • Chairman, to introduce R.S. 33599.
  • Motion by Senator Adam, seconded by Senator Dinn-Hartog, that R.S. 33599 be introduced.
Committee: Senate State Affairs
Summary: The committee first heard a resolution supporting the Idaho Caregiving Alliance’s work on a statewide strategic plan for kinship care and caregiving resources. The sponsor described kinship care as placement with relatives, tribe members, stepparents, or fictive kin, emphasized the benefits to children and the state, and cited data on grandfamilies and children raised by kin. In response to questions, the sponsor said the effort was based on existing grant funding and was not seeking new public money. The committee then voted to send the resolution to print. Members next considered several RSs. RS 33536 would set dispensing fees and reimbursement rates for independent pharmacies and strengthen transparency rules for pharmacy benefit managers; it was sent to print after the sponsor said the Insurance Director had been consulted. RS 33535 would move the presidential primary to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May, and RS 33511 would codify Public Utilities Commission rules on large-load customers such as data centers to prevent infrastructure costs from being broadly socialized; both were introduced. RS 33589 would extend temporary rules until pending rules become final on July 1, and RS 33586 would exempt churches from certain ballot-initiative reporting requirements if spending stayed under 10% of prior-year receipts; both were also introduced. The committee also heard RS 33599, a concurrent resolution urging support for wildlife crossings to improve public safety and protect migration corridors, and it was sent to print. Finally, House Bill 652, which would declare an official state sport, was presented by a fourth-grade homeschool student who advocated for hunting based on Idaho history, conservation, and outdoor traditions. Committee members praised her presentation and her family, and the bill was advanced with a do-pass recommendation. The meeting then adjourned.

  • R.S. 33474. All in favor? Say aye. Any opposed? Nay. The motion carries.
  • R.S.33474 stands introduced. Thank you for your work today. Committee. That concludes our business.
Summary: The House Revenue and Taxation Committee met on February 24, 2026, and first approved the minutes from February 17 and February 19, 2026. The committee then took up RS 33370 C1, a proposed sales tax exemption/clarification for small sellers and yard sales. Representative Monks explained the bill was intended to clarify how the existing small seller rules apply to multiple yard sales, the $5,000 annual threshold, and when sales tax must be collected. Members raised questions about whether the limit applies to an individual or to a homeowner hosting multiple sellers, and the chair identified a possible drafting issue in the threshold language. At the sponsor’s request, the committee withdrew the motion to introduce and returned RS 33370 C1 to the sponsor for further work. The committee next heard RS 3344, which would create a low-income/affordable workforce housing property tax exemption with county commissioners able to opt out on a project-by-project basis. Representative Weber said the measure was intended as a local tool to support affordable housing development. Questions focused on the fiscal impact, how the exemption would be administered, whether it would actually result in lower-cost housing, and whether it applied only to property tax or also to sales tax; the witness said it was a property tax exemption only and that qualifying projects must maintain rents affordable to households at 60% of area median income, with annual certification required. Despite some concerns about the uncertain fiscal effect, the committee voted to introduce RS 3344. The meeting then adjourned.

Committee: House Education
Summary: The House Education Committee first agreed by unanimous consent to hear RS 33413C1 before House Bill 712, and then introduced RS 33413C1. The proposal, presented by Rep. Byswinger, would allow students to participate in sports at the school they attend, including flexibility for homeschool and charter school students to play different sports at different schools if needed. Members asked about how the arrangement would work across multiple schools and whether there was a funding mechanism; the sponsor said eligibility limits by the IHSAA would remain intact and that no funding mechanism was attached. The committee voted to introduce the RS. The committee then heard House Bill 712, a voluntary “seal of excellence in civics” for graduating students. Rep. Veeley said the bill would let students earn a civics endorsement on their diploma, special graduation cords, and allow schools to be designated as civics-excellence schools if they meet certain standards involving GPA, civics coursework, research, and volunteerism. Rep. Nelson noted the bill could provide a useful pathway for senior projects. During testimony, Edward Clark of the Idaho Family Policy Center supported the bill, saying it would help strengthen civics instruction and patriotism. After questions about who would pay for seals and cords, the committee voted to send House Bill 712 to the floor with a due pass recommendation. Next, the committee introduced RS 33400, presented by Rep. Ehart as a parental-rights measure requiring parental permission to enroll a student in a school district. Rep. Nelson raised concerns about how the proposal might affect custody disputes and school responsibilities when parents are separated. The committee voted to introduce the RS. The committee also introduced RS 33461, another Rep. Ehart proposal aimed at clarifying homeschool students’ ability to participate in school activities such as sports and band, while allowing schools to charge fees. Rep. Nelson questioned what would count as a reasonable fee. That RS was also introduced. The meeting ended with a visit from Fruitland’s mayor and members of the city’s new mayoral youth council, who described their meetings, community service projects, and an upcoming 5K event tied to America 250 celebrations.
